    Abstract: A system (100) for ultrasound (US) medical imaging is disclosed. The system (100) includes an ultrasound imaging device (110); and a memory (130) adapted to store: a trained predictive model comprising instructions; prior imaging data for a patient (105), or prior non-imaging data for the patient (105), or both; segmented relevant structures from the prior imaging data; and extracted quantitative parameters of the patient (105) from the segmented relevant structures. The system (100) comprises a controller (120). The instructions, when executed by the controller (120), cause the controller (120), based on the quantitative parameters, to determine whether or not to apply a contrast agent to the patient (105). A method (300) and a tangible, non-transitory computer readable medium that stores the instructions are also described.

    Abstract: Image co-registration entails: emitting energy, and responsively and dynamically acquiring images, the acquired images having a given dimensionality; selecting, repeatedly, and dynamically with the acquiring, from among the acquired images and, as a result of the selecting, changing, repeatedly, and dynamically, membership in a set of images of the given dimensionality; and, synchronously with the change, dynamically and iteratively registering the set to an image having a dimensionality higher than the given dimensionality. The co-registration is realizable with an imaging probe for the acquiring, and a tracking system for tracking a location, and orientation, of the probe, the registering being specialized for the acquiring with the probe being dynamically, during the acquiring, any one or more of angulated, rotated and translated. The registering is initialized by individual transformations of members of the set, but without need for reconstruction, of the set into an image of dimensionality higher than the given dimensionality, that derives, from the set, additional pixels external to the members.

    Abstract: A method predicts an interpretation time for a medical image examination of a subject comprising one or more medical images. A plurality of data inputs is obtained, where the data inputs are associated with the medical image examination or the subject of the medical image examination, and the data points represent parameters affecting the interpretation time. The plurality of data inputs are input to a trained artificial intelligence algorithm, wherein the algorithm automatically provides a predicted interpretation time based on said plurality of data inputs. The predicted interpretation time is output to a clinical management system. A clinical management system incorporating the aforementioned method and a computer program product encoded with the aforementioned method are also provided.

    Abstract: Multi-modal medical image registration and associated devices, systems, and methods are provided. For example, a method of medical imaging can include: receiving a first image of a patients anatomy in a first imaging modality; receiving a second image of the patients anatomy in a second, different imaging modality; determining a first pose of the first image relative to a reference coordinate system of the patients anatomy; determining a second pose of the second image relative to the reference coordinate system; determining co-registration data between the first image and the second image based on the first pose and the second pose; and outputting, to a display, the first image co-registered with the second image based on the co-registration data.

    Abstract: A system with integrated tracking includes a procedure-specific hardware component (112 or 116) disposed at or near a region of interest. A field generator (114) is configured to generate a field with a field of view covering the region of interest. A mounting device (115) is connected to the field generator and is coupled to the procedure-specific hardware. The field generator is fixedly positioned by the mounting device to permit workflow access to the region of interest without interfering with the field generator and to provide a known position of the field generator relative to the region of interest. A tracking device (110) is configured to be inserted in or near the region of interest to be tracked within the field of view of the field generator to generate tracking data.

    Abstract: A system for dynamic localization of medical instruments includes an ultrasound imaging system (110) configured to image a volume where one or more medical instruments are deployed. A registration module (136) registers two images of the one or more medical instruments to compute a transform between the two images, the two images being separated in time. A planning module (142) is configured to have positions of the volume and the one or more medical instruments updated based on the transform and, in turn, update a treatment plan in accordance with the updated positions such that changes in the volume and positions of the one or more medical instruments are accounted for in the updated plan.
